Hey! Welcome to my third fan fiction and second song fic!

Now, this one is to Simple Plan's "Welcome to My Life". As you can probably infer from me writing two song fics based on Simple Plan songs that I LOVE Simple Plan! They are the shiz!

Well, anywayz, this fic is centered around Robin and Beast Boy's friendship, which I interpret as being nonexistent. After I saw the episode "The Beast Within" I was convinced that Robin does not care about Beast Boy at all! He was going to kill him for crying out loud! If it had been STARFIRE changing into a beast and attacking people, he wouldn't have been anywhere near as harsh! I have nothing against Robin, and I'm sorry if I depict him in a very negative way, but I think this is how Beast Boy sees it. Beast Boy is my favorite Titan, so I do sympathize with him.

This story contains numerous references to episodes, such as "The Beast Within". If you have not seen this episode and some others you may not completely understand the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own TEEN TITANS or any of SIMPLE PLAN's awesomeness.

WARNING: This story's villain causes this story to be rated PG13. I know he's creepy, but so was Chaos in my last story. All my villains seem to be a bit disturbing, so I recommend this story only be read if you are over 13.

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
c c c c c c c c c c

"Hey, guys! What are you all doin?" Beast Boy, after playing 62 rounds of Mutant Monkey Warriors 3, had decided to find the other Titans and see what they had been doing all day. He hadn't seen them since breakfast. After searching each Titans' bedroom, the garage, the roof, each bedroom again, the kitchen, and under the sofa to no avail, he thought to look in the training room, which is where he found all four of his teammates.

"What does it LOOK like?" Raven growled, relaxing her concentration for a moment to answer his question. She quickly regretted her action when she found herself flying through the air and nearly slamming headfirst into a wall, compliments of one of Robin's kicks. She stopped herself just before her face slammed into the hard surface.

"Uh…" Beast Boy scratched his head and grimaced at Raven's near impact.

"We're practicing live combat," Cyborg said as he aimed his canon at Starfire. She easily dodged his blast of energy and sent a starbolt as recompense towards Cyborg's head. It hit him squarely between his eyes which caused him to stagger backwards a few steps and grab at his forehead.

"Cyborg!!" Starfire gasped, hovering above him. "Are you injured? I did not mean to harm you! I was just…"

"Naw, it's okay, Star," he said as he rubbed his head. "But man, do those things hurt! I feel bad for all those bad guys who have to deal with these things!"

"Oh, so you're practicing live combat?" Beast Boy grinned. "I thought you were trying to eliminate your competition, Cyborg." Beast Boy winked at the metal man. "Robin is quite a catch."

Cyborg and Starfire tuned and stared at him, their mouths' slightly open. "And same thing for you, Robin. Raven's the only thing blocking the way to the man of your dreams!"

Robin and Raven stopped in mid attack, Raven holding one of Robin's fists in her hand. Both turned and glared at Beast Boy.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I do NOT like Cyborg!" Raven gave Beast Boy a look so cold it caused shivers to jolt down his spine. "No offense, Cyborg," she quickly added with an apologetic smile for her bulky teammate.

Beast Boy grinned at her denial. He knew that she didn't like Cyborg, but he liked to see her reactions when he accused her of being infatuated with his best friend.

"That wasn't funny," Robin said slowly and evenly, though Beast Boy could hear the pent up anger quivering in his voice.

"Chill man! It was just a joke?" Beast Boy smiled a crooked smile and waited for a response from the fuming boy.

Robin glared at him a moment longer and then turned his gaze away. "Whatever," he said and then continued his battle with Raven.

Starfire and Cyborg looked at each other. Starfire hadn't quite understood the joke, so she didn't really have a reason to be upset. Cyborg grinned at Beast Boy; he had found the joke amusing after the initial shock of it wore off. He then once again began to battle Starfire.

Beast Boy stood for a moment in the door watching the Titans strike at their adversary and parry blows. "Um, Robin?"

"What?" Robin continued to battle, not taking his eyes away from his opponent.

"Do you think I could train with you guys?" Beast Boy shuffled his feet expectantly as he gazed intently at Robin.

"We're two on two right now. Looks like you're the odd man out," Robin answered, not even looking at the boy. "So, sorry. Maybe later."

Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
c c c c c c c c c c

"Oh." Beast Boy stared blankly at Robin, trying to comprehend what he had just said. He had never been told that he could not train with the team. Robin had always wanted them all to train, and was always enthusiastic whenever Beast Boy voluntarily came to the practice room. Usually he had to drag the green boy by his feet to force him to lift weights. After the incident in which Beast Boy turned into a beast and was thought to be wild and dangerous, Beast Boy had gone to the gym more often, but the effect of the whole episode seemed to be wearing off of the boy.

"Alright, I guess I'll go… do something," Beast Boy said, hoping that Robin would change his mind. When he didn't receive a response, he turned to go, shoulders drooping.

"I'll be in my room if anyone's looking for me later," he said as he paused at the door. Again, no one responded to his words. He sighed and closed the door behind him.

Do you ever want to runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

"Why do I always have to submit to Robin? Why do I have to do what he says? He's not the boss of me!" Beast Boy angrily paced back and forth in his room. It was two hours later and no one had come to see him. He had his radio blasting so loud that the walls of his room shook slightly. He was hoping that one of the Titans would at least come and yell at him to turn the volume down, but still no one came.

"Who named Robin the ruler of the world?" Beast Boy kicked in the doors of his closet. There was a loud crack as the metal doors split down the middle. Beast Boy cringed, but ignored the damage. He had just gotten all new furniture and doors in his room since everything had been destroyed during his battle with Adonis, when Beast Boy's inner self had emerged.

"Why do we listen to Robin anyway? He's just a dumb kid!" Beast Boy sat down on the floor. "Well, I know he's older than me, but he's not as old as Cyborg. And I think Starfire is the same age as Robin, well I'm not really sure how ageing works on Tamaran…"

Beast Boy jumped as red flashing lights filled his room. He could barely hear the alarm because of his blasting music, but the lights definitely were enough to alert him. He quickly scrambled to his feet and switched off the radio. His ears rang from the transition of loud rock music to the drone of the alarm.

"Beast Boy move it or we'll leave you behind!" Robin shouted from the hall. Beast Boy made a face and opened his door. "We don't really need him anyway," Robin said to Starfire who was standing beside him. He hadn't meant for Beast Boy to hear, but he had to speak loud enough for Starfire to hear him over the raging alarm.

Beast Boy stared at Robin, mouth slightly open. He felt like he was on a roller coaster and had just gone down the largest drop. Starfire quickly glanced at Beast Boy, and then said something to Robin that he couldn't hear. Robin smiled fondly at Starfire, and then turned to Beast Boy.

"Come on, Beast Boy! Didn't you hear me the first time?"

Beast Boy followed his team mates out of the tower with a hurt pride.

c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

"So he's all the way downtown?"

"Yes. I know it's a long way, but the sooner we get there the better. So hurry."

The Titans had set out from the tower with Robin on his R-Cycle, Starfire flying above him, Cyborg in his T-Car, and Beast Boy and Raven flying behind. Beast Boy was surprised. Raven usually rode in the car with Cyborg. 'I wonder what made her want to fly outside… with me.'

Robin screeched around a corner, easily dodging the oncoming cars. Both he and Cyborg had to weave through the rush hour traffic with their vehicles, while the other three Titans flew overhead. It was 5 o'clock and the sun was beginning to set. Beast Boy had to shield his eyes from the glare of the sun, though Raven seemed unaffected by the bright light. 'You'd think light would bother her; she's so used to darkness,' he thought, as he watched the girl fly beside him.

"Beast Boy!! LOOK OUT!" Raven grabbed Beast Boy's wing and pulled him with her as they turned around a corner. Beast Boy's mind had been so preoccupied that he hadn't seen the street light rapidly approaching ahead of him.

"You almost knocked yourself out back there," Raven said as soon as both their hearts stopped beating so quickly from the near accident. "What would we do if you weren't there with us to fight? How could we ever win?" She smiled.

Beast Boy's thoughts promptly switched back to Robin's earlier words. He looked away from Raven's friendly glance, ashamed of himself. 'I'm not needed. You could all win without me,' he thought.

Raven frowned and was about to inquire about his expression, when Robin's voice cut through the chilling night air.

"There he is! Up ahead!"

Both Raven and Beast Boy looked for what Robin had seen. Their antagonist was a new enemy, one they had never seen before. And it appeared his power was the ability to…capture women?

"What the…" Beast Boy and Raven had both stopped dead in their tracks, along with the rest of their team, dumbfounded at the sight before them.

A truck piled high with young, unconscious women sat in the middle of the street. A man wearing a classic villains' costume, tight black spandex which illuminated his tense muscles, stood outside on the balcony of an apartment, which was on the street beside his truck. He was tall, dark, and very handsome. His neat black hair sported red highlights, and his body had a stocky, strong build. He had a sharp chin, nearly black eyes, and a handsome face, but the look of someone who did not care for rules or ethics could be easily depicted from the look in his eyes. He was the type of man which would cause a child to run, screaming, at his sight.

He had cornered a young woman with long brown hair and bright, fearful eyes against the balcony railing. He had left her with two choices, either to be captured by him, or to jump five stories to the pavement below. She quivered in fear. She glanced over the railing, and immediately tightened her grip on the rail. It seemed she was not welcoming of heights.

"SARAH! No, you can't have her!" A young, skinny man with messy blond hair ran out onto the balcony. He yelled in hatred and anger, his eyes glowing in rage. His step did falter when he came face to face with the dark man. He turned towards the blond man, a smile forming slowly on his lips, one of amusement.

He stood between the two young lovers, blocking their way to each other. He turned towards the girl who began to shake noticeably. He reached out with both arms and pulled her towards him. As soon as his hands made contact with her body, she became unconscious. He held her against him with one arm, and then turned back towards the boy.

"No one, and I mean no one tells Odium what he can and cannot do! If I want your girl, then she is mine. If I want any girl, she is mine." He smiled viciously. "It's my gift." With his free arm he punched the blond man, sending him soaring back into the room, and rendering him certainly unconscious.

"Oh, so this guy can not only like control girls, but he also has super strength!" Beast Boy exclaimed. He turned towards Raven. "That's not fair!"

Raven glared at his joke. "This is not funny Beast Boy. Look at all those girls…" She pointed towards the truck which had to have at least thirty young women lying in the back. "They're all helpless to whatever he had planned for them."

"What! That's not what I meant!" Beast Boy was hurt. "I didn't mean to make a jo…"

"We have to get them out of there!" Robin's voice sounded over their communicators. "Raven, Starfire… get those girls out of the truck and take them somewhere safe. And whatever you do, don't go near, uh, Odium." His voice sounded worried and scared, unlike his normal authoritative tone. Raven and Starfire both nodded, silently agreeing. It would do the team no good to have two of its members kidnapped or unconscious.

Odium, grinning brightly at his actions, turned and saw the Titans on the street below. "Well, if it isn't the Teen Titans! I should have known you'd come. The police had never required your assistance for my previous transgressions… but back then I didn't have the same… talents… that I possess at this time." He smiled devilishly, and shifted his eyes to the unconscious girl in his arms.

"So you didn't always have the ability to knock out chicks, did yah?" Cyborg growled as he eyed the man above him.

"Naw, this is a new gift I've been given. And I like it very much. I'd be much obliged if you and your cronies did not stop my further and future use of it either." Odium leapt from the balcony and landed squarely on the street with a loud crash. The cement cracked beneath his feet, but he appeared uninjured from the fall.

"TITANS GO!"

Beast Boy growled deeply. No man treats girls like that. The thought of Raven, helpless in Odium's arms instead of his current victim, instigated his rage. He ran headfirst at Odium, changing into a rhinoceros, pointing his horn straight at his heart. Odium shifted his stance, so Sarah was directly in his path. Beast Boy skidded to a halt just in time, transforming back into himself as to not harm her. Odium laughed and punched Beast Boy so hard he went flying into the air. He soared up, above the roofs of the buildings. The last thing he saw was Raven helping Starfire move the women out of the truck, and then his vision, and mind, went black.

Beast Boy's eyes slowly opened. He was in a dark alleyway somewhere in the deep downtown district. The sun had almost completely set, leaving him with little, if any, light to see by. His head throbbed and he could feel the sticky sensation of blood on his skin. As his brain began to awaken, he realized he was lying on a pile of black trash bags, all of which were stuffed to their full potential with unwanted (mostly smelly) items. He groaned as he tried to sit up. Every part of his body felt as if it had been beaten severely. His whole right side felt as if it had been slammed against a wall, which in fact, it had.

Then he remembered what had happened. He gasped and quickly scrambled to find his communicator on his belt. It wasn't there. He looked down at his side and saw that it had been shattered into pieces when he had made contact with the alley wall before he had fallen to the trash bags below.

"Oh no!" He moaned as he got to his feet. He transformed into a bird to fly back to the battle, but as soon as he beat his right wing against the air, he fell to the ground and changed back into himself. His arm was broken. 'What am I going to do now? They need me! Raven needs me! And now I can't help her! What if she's in trouble like that time with Adonis…? I can't save her now…'

c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
c c c c c c c c c c

'Where am I? I don't know where I am. I've never been to this part of town before,' Beast Boy thought as he emerged from the alley and glanced at the street and surrounding buildings. "Oh my god! What am I going to do?" He fell to his knees and held his face in his hands. His arm throbbed with contempt. I could feel the anguish deep inside him, wanting to come out.

'No, no, I can't lose it now. For the Titans sake… for all those girls.' He slowly rose to his feet. He transformed into a cheetah and tried to run, but he fell and cried out in pain as soon as his front, right leg hit the pavement. He changed back into himself, holding his right arm in his left hand, a look of pure pain on his face. Beast Boy began to stumble down the street, not knowing where he was going. He ran with all the energy he had, trying to find his way back. His eyes watered and his vision blurred. He knew he wasn't going to be conscious much longer, but he kept on running.

Very morbid, I know. I hope you like it! Beast Boy really is underappreciated. I hope this story is helping to bring this to everyone's attention.

This is about half way through the story, I believe. Maybe a little less. I was going to have this be just a one chapter deal, like my other song fic, but it's getting pretty long and I don't want to scare away any potential readers with too many scary words.  hehe.

Please review on this story. My only incentive for updating quickly is getting many reviews, so the more I get, the sooner you get your story.

It's winter break right now, so I have plenty of time to update, I just need the encouragement that your lovely reviews provides me with.

So PLEASE Review!!!

And yes, I will leave you with a piece of advice (like I did in my last story)…

My advice for today is: Get your shopping done BEFORE Christmas eve. And don't EVER go to any store on the night before Christmas. You will be stepped on, trampled, pushed, yelled at, insulted, as well as many other rude things. It's just not worth it.

Merry Christmas!!
Happy Chanukah!!
Joyous Kwanza!!
Happy Festivus!
And Happy Whateverelseyoucelebrate!!!
